For some reason I'm really concerned over the survivability of a kamen rider in IS-verse. I keep getting second thought to whether give Genta upgrades or should he stick to his current powerset and try to just outsmart the enemy. Though dumb as a rock he may be.

He is not dumb. He is just.....err.... friendship-ering-something-something.

Serious note: Just stick to current powerset.

Gentaro is actually not as dumb as you think he is.

He will find a way. (Probably tumble through trial and error)

Remember Hopping switch?

Not only that, remember one of the fight against Scorpio? He actually use Switch-Combo(Fire, Launcher, Gatling) limit break, which would have been awesome if it work.... too bad it didn't work because Scorpio use meat shields to block that move.

Such a slow day and here I am using a Halo 3 armor creator to make rough references for eac of the Minerva variants, except for the Noa.

Going for real sports, I see. Though I'm not exactly sure if the cast knows how to use ice-skates proper but I'll leave that up to you.

As for me transition chapter, here's a draft on the Kai:

Spoiler for Minerva 02 Kai:

Held in a construction cage, the Minerva Kai powered armor stands in all glory of its completion. Primarily painted in darker shades of gray than the predecessor Minerva, which is held in another cage next to it fully restored with hardly any signs of damage on its armor, the Kai also sports red highlights on some parts of its armor as opposed to the original’s blue. Despite the slightly different color scheme, the Kai’s armor itself is different from its predecessor.

Unlike the original Minerva, the Kai lacks the large rounded pauldrons on its shoulders and instead sports slightly curved rectangular armor platings attached to where the user’s biceps would be. The Kai’s chest armor is also smaller and significantly thinner than the Minerva’s, whose chest armor has flat, angular plates that roughly reflects the human body while the Kai’s is a vest-styled chest armor with an armor plate over the upper torso and a few articulated plates attached to its bottom.

The Kai’s helmet is also drastically different from the Minerva’s. In addition to the thin visor of the original, the Kai also has a single fang-like slit down the middle giving the visor a roughly T-shaped appearance. It also has cheek guards and a protective alloy brace that reinforces the top of the helmet.

On its back is a pair of particle thruster jets with actuator fins on the exhausts unlike the Minerva’s which has cone-shaped nozzles at the end of its own. The Kai’s particle jets also appear to be relatively bigger than the Minerva’s and also retains the original’s particle jets built on its calves.

“So this is the new Minerva unit…?”

“Yes. Minerva Unit Two, the Minerva Kai. After reviewing his past battles, it is clear that Inami’s combat capability is greatly hindered by quite a number of factors of the original unit.”

“Such as…?”

Jinrai pops open a laptop that’s resting on a workbench. The screen then displays the predecessor Minerva unit in wireframe model form while he taps on the flat keyboard, bringing up data of the unit’s in-built armaments.

“The original’s weapons. The beam sabers are the Minerva’s most powerful weapons but it consumes quite a lot of power in-use. The particle guns on the other hand, don’t use as much power and yet they could deal considerable damage against the enemy drone units. Against the barrier-shielded units like the IS replica drones however… not as effective.”

Gerald nods with narrowed eyes. In his mind, he wonders where and how did Clause managed to obtain barrier shield technology, let alone schematics of active IS units.

“We have little reason to believe that the enemy, whoever they are, will not implement barrier systems on their other units. Hell, if I were them I’d develop a brand new mass-production drone unit with more powerful weapons and barrier shield features.” Jinrai continues.

“Hmm… True. It’s already been weeks since their last attack… They might just be working on one as we speak.”

“That is why I developed countermeasure weapons for the Kai, ones that can be used against barrier-shielded enemies as effectively as the Minerva’s against non-shielded ones.” Jinrai resumes as he taps on the laptop’s keyboard again, bringing up another window that displays the Minerva Kai’s armaments; a gun labeled as [MAGNUS] and a katana-shaped sword labeled [ECLIPSE]. The view is then magnified upon the Magnus.

Gerald stares at the screen for a brief moment, creating an awkward silence between the two until he rolls his eyes to Jinrai.

“…Just two weapons?”

“Yeah. It’s a little bit of compromise to allow greater performance for the Kai over its predecessor.”

“How so?”

“Well… To start off, I made the Magnus as a separate weapon since having it built into the arms would only serve as dead weight seeing as Inami doesn’t use the Minerva’s particle guns as often as he used to, especially against the recent IS replica units.”

“What of the Eclipse?”

“It’s planned but I have yet to develop the weapon proper. Until then, we won’t be able to field the Kai for missions.”

“Not that it will need it seeing as we still have the Type One and the Buster Sword.”

“As an improvisation, yes. Then again, the Kai does not need the Type One for sustained flight.”

“The Kai can fly on its own?”

“Indeed. The Minerva did not have such luxury because all of its equipment shares a central power network. Its particle guns, barrier systems, thrusters and all other applications tap into one single power capacitor that’s fueled by the particle generators built into the armor. The Kai doesn’t suffer as much because its uses a dual-capacitor system, one for the main unit and another for the main thrusters.”

Gerald turns his head to the Kai that’s held in its cage and notices a pair of protrusions from the back of its shoulders.

“That explains the bulk on its back.”

“It’s an experimental system for now. You have no idea how troublesome it was to remake the Minerva’s OS for the Kai just so the dual-capacitor system can work proper.”

EDIT: how OP is the big bad if he can shrug off the AIC and overturn it to hit Laura, with a powered up version strong enough to cut through the IS shield and cause her to start convulsing or something. @_@

Mine wasn't so grand so I don't remember much about it.

About the OPness, I'm under the impression that being the Big Bad justifies all reason to for it to steamroll over anything.

On another note:

Been listening to this and suddenly I'm imagining a whole army of Personal IS pilots flying into space to protect the planet against an asteroid shower... 0.0

I was wondering if it was something emotional... I was more or less detatched as I always believed that even though when we go our separate univs, we still keep the bonds we really want to keep. It was less of goodbye and more see you later. So I'm not too good with the emotional feelings involved in the event.

The big bad's power would stem from breaking ALL the laws of science. More so than the IS.

OSEA New ATF is not F-35 Lightning but a new brand F-14 system called Attack Super Tomcat 21, or simply Tomcat 21. It's a Tomcat with elements from both F-22 and F-23, it's still not entering service as of Circum Pacific war, but [Razgriz] managed to seize its prototype unit, used to great effect by it's leader, [Blaze] (Dan).

On the other hand, F-23 is adopted by ISAF as new basis for their Naval Fighter, intended to replace aging Su-33, their body has been strengthened and modified for carrier operation. [Mobius One] (Ichika) is the first one to bring it to live combat. One unconverted land based aircraft also in service with [Hanagumi 04] as it's pilot (Madoka)
(no love for F-22 or F-35 )

After the Destruction of Stonehenge, Erusean unveiled their latest prototype superfighter, X-02 Wyvern. It's unconventional design coupled with state of the art electronic system allowed it to go toe to toe with any other 5th Generation fighters without problem. [Valkyrie] is the first squadron to deploy it, by it's second member (Cecilia).

It's confirmed that [Hanagumi 02] use unconventional frame never produced everywhere else. Grunder Industry is found to be the origin, or at least, it's basic design. The new fighter is vastly different than the old one, it's a fifth generation fighter, so advanced that it was said that one of it is equal to two or three other Gen-5 aircraft. The unit is codenamed FALKEN
